Here's a pic of the whole shed. Folk planning to visit the Dig Tree should be aware that you might spend an hour or two in this "information Booth" before getting to the tree. I think entry is by $11 per car in an envelope at the gate.

Yep, Fried Rice, it is $11 per vehicle OR aircraft!!! No kidding - took this photo last month when we were visiting the Dig Tree - found the flies extremely friendly too!
The day we were at Cameron Corner, the guy had just finished grading the air strip - he had people flying in for lunch, then flying right back out of there!!!

Hi Pejay.. Perhaps we just missed you out there. We were camped on the Cooper creek bank about 300 metres from the "the tree" on June 10th and 11th then via Cameron
Corner and Sturt National Park/Tibooburra/Broken Hill during the next few days en route to Eyre Peninsula.
A most interesting slab of OZ we reckon!!

Bother,
Fried Rice you were a couple of weeks ahead of us - we were at the Dig Tree/Innamincka on Tue 24/6, and Cameron Corner the following day Wed 25/6.
Would have been good to catch up with some other GN's.
As you will see from our blog, our little camper trailer did not make it home - ah, them's the breaks, however, we are OK as is our 4WD.

In 2011, on the way back from an overnight at Birdsville, having flown over Lake Eyre, we stopped in at The Dig Tree for lunch. We then went on to Innaminka for a beer.
Tough way to do it.
Yes, I know that it was only a taste and not a good look as you get when caravanning, but it was the only way we would have got there.
Yuu're right Oma well done.

I hope that the pilot paid the fee.
Is there any thing left that we dont have to pay to see???????????? Glad we have been there twice & free.
